Tea Bag Eye Pack

• 1). Use herbal tea for tea bag eye packs. Chamomile or lavender teas are soothing, and orange tea is energizing. Avoid tea with heavy spices such as chai. Fill a cup with warm water. Immerse two tea bags into the water for a few moments. Once the tea bags are soft, remove the bags from the cup.
  
  
• 2). Place the tea bags on a small plate and pop them into the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes. You want them to be cold but not frozen.
  
  
• 3). Remove the tea bags from the freezer. Find a cozy place to lay down. Place a tea bag on each closed eyelid and relax for 10 minutes. The herbs in the tea reduce puffiness. Remove the tea bags and discard.
  
  

Vegetable Eye Pack

• 1). Peel a cucumber or potato, whichever vegetable you prefer. Their natural astringent properties soothe skin and reduce puffiness. Grate enough of the vegetable to make two 1-inch piles.
  
  
• 2). Wet two 2-inch squares of cheesecloth with water, and then scoop each pile of vegetable onto each portion of cheesecloth. Gather up the edges of the cloth pieces and close, tying off the bundles with twist ties or pieces of string.
  
  
• 3). Place the vegetable packs in the freezer for 10 minutes. Remove the packs from the freezer, lay down and place on each closed eyelid. Leave on for 10 or 15 minutes. Remove and discard the packs.
